No, still 8 mins left

42-23 Somebody needs to tell the refs to do their jobs. They let HF score

42-17. Thanks refs!

Nah, hand picked by the coaches!! EC need all the help they can get, with their second rate FB program.

No idea. On the run, the clock never started.. And there were 10 seconds left. So maybe they figured the run plus spiking the ball was 10 seconds? I thought they should've ran 1 more play, as there likely would've had 1-2 seconds left.

You obviously aren't at the game.

"If they hatin you ain't doing something right!"

Sorry, make that 35-17

You talking about the inadvertent whistle that took the ball away from EC that started the game or the BS face mask against EC that cost them 35 yards? 28-17 EC

21-17 EC

17-14 HF Mental errors in the secondary killing the EC

It truly was a great game. I felt so bad for Kam going down so early in the season after getting so close the year before. I just don't see it being a tight ball game this time around, BUT it's a rival game and as the cliche goes.. throw the records, the 'who looks good on paper' and everything else out the window and just enjoy the atmosphere.

Say huh? EC was up by 2 scores before Cam went down for the season. HF won by 7 points. No excuses, good on them to take advantage of the huge momentum shift, but let's get real with what really happened last year. Barring another big injury, this will be a blowout.

The speed on the offense is crazy. 3-4 weapons that are capable of taking it to the house every time they touch the ball. And the defense looked ready to stuff the run and has the speed in the secondary to run with any receiving core.

I, and am betting others, would be willing to donate 5, 10, 20+ dollars to help in the short term. I understand it wouldn't be a long term solution, but if things are dire, perhaps there is a Paypal account or another online payment system where funds could be sent? Or perhaps donations that could be raffled off or football squares in which ~50% of the money goes towards supporting SETXSports. There are a decent amount of active posters, but there are a TON of lurkers / semi-lurkers, such as myself, that are more than willing to help in the short term. I know we all appreciate the information and dedication this site has to bringing a great FREE product for our benefit and enjoyment. Just my .02!

YAAAWN... Just another blowout from a loaded EC team. Wake me up when the 3rd round of the playoffs get here.

Wow! I was on the edge of my seat just reading through the comments. OG Dayton guy here and always respected Silsbee and Jasper. Always long away games and always had our tails kicked (early 90s). I know how heartbroken those kids will wake up this morning and must feel, but maybe... just maybe a few will read this post and others and let them know the entire south east Texas region was rooting for them and they have ZERO to hang their heads about. Great season Silsbee!

At what point did you see an influx of "EC fans" in this thread prior to your baseless statement? Most were either at the game and the rest were listening because they couldn't make the drive.

Grandview up by 3 scores when I turned it off, about 5 minutes ago.

If EC can somehow get a +2 TO margin, they have a shot at a close game. Anything less and the score goes from a tossup, to ugly. +3 EC by 4 +2 tossup +1 GV by 4-7 +/- 0 GV by 7 to 10 +1 or more GV by 10+

And the other was a long drive and EC was on the 10-15 yd line, about to score again, when the QB went out. They essentially didn't sniff the end zone the rest of the game, except the very last drive after that drive. So if you are saying the loss of the QB had no effect on the outcome, I would say you either didn't watch the game or delusional.. or perhaps a combination of both. Either way, great game and proud of how the smaller school still almost came away with the win.

You are a pretty funny 'dude'. I wish HF the best moving forward, sincerely. When HF is not a dumpster fire like it has been the past 2 decades, it makes the rivalry great.

Did you not see the score before and after the Senior QB and leader of the team had to be carried off the field in a stretcher? 3 tds in the 1st qtr and zero in the next 3 qtrs. I'll let you do the math on that and let us know if you think it had any sort of impact. I'm not taking anything away from either team the way they played in the hot and humid conditions, but your comment was odd, considering that EC played in December last year.

Looks to be broken right above the ankle.

I think it was just a very unfortunate event, this coming from an EC fan. Prayers for the young man.
